You Louisville folk might want to attend a memorial service for Anne Braden, an organizer who worked for 81 years against racism, sexism, and heterosexism. The rest of you should check out "Freedom's Daughters: The Unsung Heroines of the Civil Rights Movement from 1830 to 1970" which chronicles women such as Braden whose struggles to freedom for all people in this country rarely make it into the history books.
